Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 12:

In page 12, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:

"(2) Where a cluster munition, explosive bomblet or anti-personnel mine is to be delivered to the Defence Forces for destruction under subsection (1), the court shall, unless it is satisfied that there are special and substantial reasons for not doing so, order the convicted person to pay the costs and expenses, measured by the court, to be incurred by the Defence Forces in relation to arranging such destruction.

(3) An order for costs and expenses under subsection (2) is in addition to and not instead of any fine or penalty the court might impose under section 17.".
